Type: article
Abstract: DESIGN BLUEPRINT — SIMULATED, NOT MEASURED — NOT BUILT. Build-ready blueprint derived from 'A Post-Disaster Power Triage Kit for a Small Clinic' (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.24108738). Specifies seven 400 W photovoltaic modules (2.8 kW) and three 4.8 kWh lithium iron phosphate modules (14.4 kWh nameplate, 12.96 kWh usable) with a 3 kW inverter-charger, mounting, spares and metering, at US$10,070, 360 kg and 1.39 m3, serving a tiered 4.94 kWh/day clinic load under four state-of-charge shedding rules. Includes bill of materials with source-stated unit prices, sizing rules, installation and commissioning, operating envelope through a seven-day storm week, maintenance requirements, failure modes, and the printed failure regime at full size: the battery empties on the ninth consecutive storm day with a 0.525 kWh deficit unless a generator or cold-chain evacuation intervenes.
